I think you can do:

@@ -797,11 +797,7 @@ static int __buffer_migrate_page(struct address_space *mapping,
        if (rc != MIGRATEPAGE_SUCCESS)
                goto unlock_buffers;
 
-       ClearPagePrivate(page);
-       set_page_private(newpage, page_private(page));
-       set_page_private(page, 0);
-       put_page(page);
-       get_page(newpage);
+       attach_page_private(newpage, detach_page_private(page));
 
        bh = head;
        do {
@@ -810,8 +806,6 @@ static int __buffer_migrate_page(struct address_space *mapping,
 
        } while (bh != head);

-

... but maybe there's a subtlety to the ordering of the setup of the bh
and setting PagePrivate that means what you have there is a better patch.
Anybody know?
